Assessments

Whether you are just now considering adopting agile and lean methods or you are struggling to achieve its promised benefits an assessment can help identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement. Having worked with dozens of organizations and hundreds of project teams our Disciplined Agile senior enterprise coaches can quickly recognize patterns within your organizations where companies in similar contexts have succeeded or failed.

A typical assessment takes between 3 and 5 days, which is far more efficient than consulting firms who often sell six figure assessments. The result of the assessment is a presentation on the findings and recommended next steps for improving your agile and lean game.

Enterprise Transformations

In their book Disciplined Agile: An Executive's Guide, Mark and Scott describe Disciplined Agile's proven pattern for successful and sustainable transformation using the Lean Change organizational change method (OCM) approach.

Our approach follows this pattern:

Assessment (3-5 days)

Training (Executive, Business, Management, Teams)

Transformation organizational change management with Lean Change

Enterprise & Team Coaching

Pilot Projects

Enterprise & Team Coaching

Agile ideas promote the concept of self-organizing teams which means that teams are encouraged to optimize their own processes through trial and error. However, it can take years for the teams to figure things out on their own and become self-aware enough to make the right process decisions. Without adequate coaching this can be a very expensive and time consuming process that can often result in projects failing as well as your organization not meeting it agile transformation goals. Our Disciplined Agilist coaches have seen hundreds of agile projects across many industries and can quickly assess your organization and teams’ context in order to apply a proven transformation pattern strategy.

Inclusive, not Exclusive

While we are big fans of this thing called "Disciplined Agile" we help organizations with all flavors of agile such as SAFe, Scrum, and Kanban. We take pride in our diversity of skills and experience. How you adopt agile will depend on the realities of your industry, organization, and teams.

Expertise & Experience

Our coaches and instructors have on average over 20 years of agile experience. Your business is too important to trust to rookie coaches with a 2-day certification.

Concerned about travel costs? Our Team has established a reputation (with case studies) for stellar remote coaching. Ask us about it.

A "big bang" approach to organizational change is not sustainable. We use our Exploratory/Lean Change approach for introducing change that lasts.

Value

Our pricing is competitive with other "big 4" consulting firms, but with an unparalleled history of successful agile transformations. All of our past clients are referencable.

We have found that our Teams that have obtained Disciplined Agile Certification are more effective that teams that have not.
